not new

UFO's have always referred to Earth as "The Big Blue Waste Bowl" - it's about time we followed their lead. Watch the papers for future ads for the company,SYSIS - Shoot Your Stuff Into Spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace.

Are ALL THE MATHEMATICIANS DEAD?

60% efficiency boosted by 70% = 102%. Doesn't anyone edit this bad data?

Americans... here's a "60%" factoid: 60% of Americans cannot locate their own country on a world map.

so where exactly will admen develop this sudden morality from?

Yes, Martha, admen do have souls...of course, they were all authorized by Satan, and approved by the Board of the Seven Deadly Sins. OF COURSE they'll comply!

Resistance is futile.

the Silicon Valley Fund

I was unaware there was a critical increase in poor, homeless, uninsured, unemployed people in the Silicon Valley! I'm sure that will help sustain the median income in the area; after all, those poor, poor dweebs suffering in the California heat, in their AC BMWs, AC glass towers, and AC mansions on the hills must truly be hurting for sustenance, support, and of course and extra billion will come in very handy for them - I am SURE IT WILL SAVE LIVES.

GOD BLESS THEM - oh wait, there is no GOd....

and there is no charity in dumping a tax write-off in the S Valley!

What a .... I'm sorry, I do not want to get deleted, so form your own opinion. Just as an example of just one small alternative place it might have gone; I know a guy who lives on his social security payments alone, can't find work, can't sell his tiny house, spends $350 in savings each month to pay his bills, and has run out of savings and will walk away from his house this year to keep from starving.

I'm just saying - of all the stupid, moronic, self-serving places to dump a write-off, S. Valley is just about the biggest insulting slap in the face of humanity I can think of; no wait, I guess he could have just given to the politicians - now there's a REAL WASTE!

best punishment EVER

Yeah? Now Make them READ every single word! You want to collect it, you gotta read it first! The suicide rate in NSA would skyrocket once they finally realize how much terrorism IS NOT in America! Imagine collecting millions and millions of s##t messages - the american government is perfectly suited for the task. If they analyzed them they might actually figure out what it is about USA that terrorists don't like; that would help them because they wouldn't know what to do with that information, that capitalism is not the best solution either.

my yearly electric bill

would just about cover the cost of one pixel for one second. Who Pays for all that stuff to shine so bright and pretty? Is it regulated, government controlled/sponsored? Can I get a copy?

GACK!

The Russians are Coming The Russians are Coming! - I no sooner post a comment about avoiding .ru and I get my very first .ru SPAM! Where's the Iron Curtain when you need it?

twits is a better term

you need know nothing more - the world in a 140 characters - how's that working for ya?

executive vice president advanced strategy=read 'fired'

Advanced strategy - yeah, like let's do in 5 clicks what used to take 1.

Using "advanced strategy" and MS in the same article is an oxymoron, emphasis on the 'moron.'

I'm designing a special room in Hell for all MS employees, especially the Windows 8 designers - I'm sure they'll find it less than "charming."

Dumbing down the dumb ones

Easy.

Big objects.

Small words.

Short word groups - sentences are so 20th cent.

don't think-touch.

Get a 2nd career going...

but what about us?

How long do homo sapiens have left? We have never been very god at getting along with each other and at taking care of things; it can't be much longer, and remember whoever they are they will not take long to add us to the 'extinct' list, you know, being human and all; or rather better than human, obviously.

mising the point

Please stop the madness. Fire your headline writer and get a scientist in to write them for you. Anthropomorphism has no place in Science reporting. "Hungry" cleft is oxymoronic - inanimate objects (clearly identified as non-human - not always an easy call) do not have/experience/express feelings, emotions, and other human-type reactions. Clefts have no brains so they don't get to have the feelings or characteristics of humans. Valleys aren't plagued with dietary issues. It's science, not human-analogy story-telling time. Science is better understood without the humanizing getting in its way. It's not "our" universe either!

tardis solution

Back to ten minutes before Gates gets to the garage sale; I buy it and burn it! Muhaaaaaaaaa.

This - THIS costs you Brits Billions?

No wonder we won the war! :)

Well it better NOT apply to comments!

Or "Churnments" as we see so often everywhere - yeah - what he said - let me just copy that last email and post it again to show my support...

What is there left in life for all those low-income retirees who have little interaction other than their meaningless, rambling posts on websites that still allow it without paying for the right to speak. It is not getting easier to make comments you know, especially with that twit-based "service" diskis or Diquis or whatever the moronic name is - they totally messed up easily half of my favorite sites for commenting.

This site has, without question, the best comments, churned or not!

What is you Brits say? "Cheerbye"?

:)

AMERICAN perspective

"Vulture Central" - completely lost on any American viewing this - never heard of it before. Completely confused me when it turned out to be London. Never in 66 years have I heard the phrase "Vulture Central" so I thought you might like to know so that next time your headline might be a little less obscure to those outside of the 'know'

As for the comments on light pollution, well it's only a problem when you're trying to see the stars, isn't it. Seems to me since they're always there, one could plan a viewing in a non-light-polluted area. To complain that you can't see the stars whenever you want to is just silly. It's a lot worse over here, the stars are barely visible even in the rural areas; may I suggest Celestia or Stellarium, both freeware programs that will show you ALL the stars, even when the Sun is out!
